Do you love a bargain? I’ve loved a bargain ever since I was old enough to go shopping on my own. My dad used to laugh because I’d come home from a shopping trip with my friends and show my parents what I’d bought with my money and I’d focus on the discount I’d got. So, I’d start by saying this was ££££, but I paid ££££ – I loved a bargain and I think that made my parents feel I was unlikely to pay over the odds for something or get ripped off.
Although winter may feel like a time to spend as much time as possible cosied up indoors with a hot chocolate, getting outside for regular fresh air is hugely important – especially at a time when most of us are stuck at home. Wrapping up warm and heading into the garden is a great way to fill the time, burn off some energy and help your garden to look its best all at the same time.
This year, I’m so pleased that I’ve finally got some outdoor party lights from “Avoalre” . These look so lovely in the garden, I’m really pleased with them and they will be great for my daughter’s 16th birthday. They really brighten up a space and add a sense of warmth, even if the sun hasn’t been shining that day.
Having worked from home since 2009, I can tell you that the single most important thing is to have a designated place to work from that doesn’t impact on the rest of the house.
In this busy world, you need room to relax and have a nice drink without having to go out every time you crave one. Fortunately, you can bring it all home by creating a home bar for yourself. Home bars saw a massive rise in popularity during the COVID-19 lockdowns, but many people are still enjoying these spaces.
Themed parties are a great favourite amongst children and pre-schoolers. You can draw your theme from anywhere – a special colour or motif such as a rainbow, a type of animal, or perhaps a fun place like a farm or a jungle. But some of the top themes are drawn from popular culture, in particular the television programmes your children and their contemporaries like to watch.
I absolutely love outdoor lighting, but with the cost of living rising and everyone trying to reduce the amount of electricity they use, installing a mains-powered outdoor lighting system is just not cost-efficient right now.
